Chapter 626 - 268: The Perplexed Elder of the Wutai Sect! (Part 2)
This made the number of Basic Spirit Stones in his game warehouse suddenly reach more than 60 pieces, really a good haul.
Additionally, there are 3 Middle-Level Spirit Stones.
Adding the previous one makes it 4 pieces in total, which means with the Ren and Du Meridians fully opened, he should have no problem breaking through the Broken Meridians realm.
Additionally, there was another explosive with Demon Blood Stones, and now he has 10 pieces of them.
This stuff is not really that useful to him; it seems if he doesn’t act recklessly, nothing can harm him. At least, no one in the country would use something to harm him, considering he’s situated in the most crowded area.
But this stuff should have a panacea effect.
After all, any ailment could be considered an injury, a damage to body tissues. When thought of in this way, the Demon Blood Stone turns out to be a very practical medical tool.
[Special Meteorite X2: This is a special meteorite, which seems to be used by an Artifact Refining Furnace to create special refining metal.]
This is probably what he’s most concerned about.
Combined with the previous one, there are already four pieces now.
The key is, still, Magical Artifact and Sword Flight, and needing a Flying Sword.
Though he belongs to the Broken Meridians even yet, and the Liquid Condensation Stage for Sword Flight is a long journey ahead, he came to realize one thing: refining a Flying Sword requires quite a few materials.
Don’t look at Swordsmen of Shushan, where the protagonists immediately receive a Flying Sword from the sect once they reach the realm. But that is because the Emei Sect is vast and prosperous, whereas many Loose Cultivators might reach the realm but still fail to gather materials for refining a Flying Sword magical artifact.
This is why Loose Cultivators are at a disadvantage.
Just the process of refining a Flying Sword Embryo is incredibly difficult; higher-quality materials are needed like Taiyi Pure Gold, Taiyi True Gold, among others.
Where could Loose Cultivators easily find these things?
The crucial aspect is the Sword Embryo is the most important foundation for refining a Flying Sword and constructing a Flying Sword’s basic form. With the Sword Embryo, you can refine a complete Flying Sword.
Additionally, the Sword Embryo is also the medium for carrying magic and power; during the refining process, various runes are inscribed into the Sword Embryo. The Sword Embryo also acts as the vital connection between a cultivator and their sword.
Therefore, it’s often seen in Swordsmen of Shushan that a cultivator’s Flying Sword gets dull or shows cracks, needing to be re-refined.
Typically, as long as the Sword Embryo isn’t destroyed, even if the sword body is smashed, it can still be re-refined.
And to refine the Sword Embryo into a Flying Sword, various precious metals are needed.
For example, the recently acquired 4 pieces of special refineable meteorite are prepared materials, even if he doesn’t have a Sword Embryo yet or a way to refine an embryo.

He believes he will have them later; then these materials can be used.
The last reward is a USB drive, again with evidence and materials on matters committed by General Barto.
At this time, a game prompt appeared:
[The Cyan Snail Valley Demon Extermination Task instance has been completed; you can now exit the task map. Would you like to exit Cyan Snail Valley now?]
Chen Han, upon receiving the prompt, looked toward the still-open laptop in the hospital ward; based on the information and interface on it, it should be used by General Barto for work here.
This also shows the general’s considerable concern for his daughter.
Holding the laptop, he left the ward and headed directly to the hospital rooftop. The events here should soon be undeveloped, and the forthcoming issues are something he wishes not to be disturbed.
On reaching the rooftop, he used the Heart Light Escape Technique twice to appear on another building’s rooftop.
Shortly after, he took out a Storage Disc.
This contained the surveillance data of the scam group, with only 3 days of stored surveillance after connecting to the computer, which is normal.
The country’s requirements are at least 7 days or half a month for preserving evidence and simplifying investigations.
For example, if a thief stole something from a place, discovered within half a month, it’s possible to trace the thief’s tracks across various surveillance.
For instance, in a hit-and-run accident, if someone fled the scene, the next day, the stored surveillance can promptly trace the offending vehicle’s path.
This is the power of surveillance.
Besides, the scam group’s prime purpose for monitoring was to check the boars weren’t messing around or trying to escape, hence not necessitating prolonged storage.
Moreover, all surveillance has labels such as information department, issuing department, live stream department...
It even shows some boars haven’t been flagged by the system as red dots, yet they’re quite proactive. For instance, some livestream women tend to be active, likely because they’ve truly earned money.
These people, when sent to uncle, will surely face legal consequences.
He glanced at the information and issuing departments, spotting similar personnel, though not aware of how many were marked as red dots and how many weren’t.
These can be handed over to Captain Li and Captain Huang as a solid package.
Of course, certain scenes involving the elder Daoist going on a rampage must be clipped and erased.
Storing this Storage Disc into his game warehouse, he pulled out three USB drives. All three bosses in Cyan Snail Valley dropped a USB drive, containing records of criminal activities.
He inspected the scam group’s one first; it contained normal fraud-related information, along with assistance personnel data.
Data was so abundant, scrolling down seemed endless.
He thought Qingmin Region had the most such individuals before, and unexpectedly it occupied less than 10%, while the River, Lake, and Broad districts were heavy-hit zones.
The least populated one still accounted for over 20%.
Such figures, whether owned by the scam group or aided by the game system, remain uncertain.
